apparently, one of our albums was reviewed in the Chicago Illinois Entertainer, though we never knew about it.  here's the link:

and here's the actual text:

The off-kilter folk songs on Root Shoot Leaf's full-length, Get Your Maps And Go!, sound better suited to store-front theaters than rock clubs. Occasionally, the band's avant garde aspirations come across as self-indulgent, but overall, the lo-fi vocals from Dustin Monk and Alynn Monk and their odd instrumentation with drummer Alvin Stockdale make for melodic and compelling music.
